The Bourne Beat Hotel

My priority was to get some accommodation within 15 minutes drive from the airport for a 7am appointment and it needed to be as inexpensive as possible. This hotel was perfectly adequate for this purpose and I am under no illusions as to what you get for £20. I have stayed in far worse in London and paid a good deal more for a shared dorm. I would certainly stay here again if i was in the area and it needed to be cheap.   — scott lindsay (2011-10-21) Hostelbookers

all the music memorabilia on the walls.   — Dan Read (2011-04-08) Hostelbookers

I liked this hotel because the staff especially the receptionist were really helpful, friendly and welcoming....I enjoyed being here so that I have booked an extra four nights. The pictures and memorabilia on the walls were absolutely amazing and I really enjoyed eating my breakfast opposite a big picture of a pop group in the sixties.....I am still trying to work out who they are....Maybe Brian Poole and the tremolos ...not sure   — Denise Williams (2011-01-12) Hostelbookers

Everything else was good apart from a 'little' surprise that has cost me over hundred pounds. I was eaten alive by bed bugs in room 15. I've never been encountered by this horrible issue before and I ended up with a worst allergic reaction I've even had in my life. I have over hundred bites on my skin after I woke up in the morning, itching as hell. As I said everything else was fine and the staff very friendly but this is something I don't even want for my enemies so be warned! I read many comments about this place beforehand and not even a single comment was negative not to mention bed bugs. Maybe it was just this room, don't know, but I've ended up paying over hundred pounds to secure I'm not infesting my house in case I've returned home with them in my luggage plus antihistamine pills and steroid creme to heal my horrible looking rash and bites all over my body.   — Johanna Saarmae (2010-04-22) Hostelbookers
